Brand new Antergos installation, tried both KDE and Gnome versions with LTS and default kernels, the problem is that my analog onboard audio shows up fine in audio settings and Pulse, and the volume meter is showing activity when audio is played, but I hear nothing. In Windows everything is working as it should.

I have also a realtek sound card and got problems after installation. I solved it with pavucontrol. Take a look at “All Streams” and “Applications”, in my case it took a while until I found a working configuration.

@Noel I wish there was something there I missed, but I tried every possible setting in Pulse Audio and it even has a working volume meter that goes up and down when I play audio but there’s still no sound.

Only stereo. And I just tried plugging in my headphones in the front headphone connection of my computer, and that one works. I also tried plugging the speaker cable in the other rear connections, but none of them work.
